I took a bus to school this morning. And I found out the bus shift better then the auto max...
I felt that the bus shift from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 are much stronger and faster.......lol.....

I ride the city bus to college most days and I notice the same thing! There's no lag in the shifts whatsoever.

Public buses might shift faster but they go 0-60 in like 10 years. My auto shifts fine.. No tranny probs yet.

Get your shift solenoid fixed and get the valvebody recalibration from Don in Texas. I've had the VB for about 20K now, and no problems with the tranny... *knock*.
